Daiana is a great listener, very empathetic towards my situation. She tries to come up with various ways to identify the problem and provide a solution.
Thomas Theodosiou
I love how deeply he goes into what I say. The questions he asks to teach how I really feel about everything is immensely helpful.
Kelsey Gibbs
kelsey is great with providing some technical solutions for the topics we discussed.
Thomas Theodosiou
Though we aware following what he said. His input validated what we were doing. We did receive help with other aspects such us sibling rivalry and how to go about our child's education. I think Mr Theo is a pleasant and very helpful person. Would definitely recommend him to others.
Thomas Theodosiou
My sessions were great, my therapist is very helpful and motivating.
Beverly Fernandez
Welcoming, calming, gentle.
Manuel Torres
I had a wonderful and constructive sessions with Manuel and Fitcy. I found Manuel to be very affable and he gave me the freedom to conduct our sessions in a pace where I am comfortable, this made it easier for me to discuss things i normally would not. My counseling was intended to focus solely on my stress triggers, but Manuel dug deep into my past and origins and helped me understand my issues and myself better. I would unquestionably advise Manuel to anyone trying to work through issues in therapy since he is very light to deal with, understanding and never judgmental."
Beverly Fernandez
I am very grateful that I made my life coaching session with Ms Beverly and to your team can say Thank you very much for helping me all the way of my session. Every session has a fruitful meaning in my life journey, a journey that I get more attached with God and positivity in life. I great attachment which I will carry on from the rest of my new journey. Its sad to say that I ended up already my 4 sessions however it was replaced of enlightenment courage what life it could be. Im wishing you(Ms Beverly) and the rest of your team to help more people experiencing difficulties straggle’s in life to enlighten and courage to love their life journey more positive way and attached to Gods purpose of life. Thank you very much and Godbless us all. ♥️
Beste Aydogan
She’s amazing. Very understanding, very attentive, very smart.
Jose Tavela
Very comfy sessions and the therapist was hyper nice and knowledgeable
Nanar Iknadiossian
My sessions have been going well so far and I’m learning so much about my feelings, etc. I feel like I can count on someone when I’m dealing with problems and to see how I can cope with them.
Elena Giappa
Honestly speaking she’s probably the best therapist I’ve ever had, if you’re looking for cbt and recovery from anxiety and ptsd she’s the one to go for. But even if you’re struggling with anger and depression, separation, commitment, family and relationship problems she’s the one to go for. I tried so many different online services and offline similarly but started to give up until I actually gave fitcy health a go who matched me up with Elena. I’ve improved a lot even my friends and family notice it. No words would describe how much I really appreciate what Elena does and has done so far. I was dreading the feedback part because I was afraid of not having much time with her but seriously I wouldn’t want those who also need the help to miss out on what she has to offer and the management told me I don’t have to worry about that 😂. Elena, you are amazing!
Suzanne Helmy
Suzzanne is a good listener… Try her best to guide me through the therapy journey but with no judgment and with great support without making me feel negative about me or about my partner.
Naina Kapoor
"Naina has been just amazing at what she does. She's always on her toes to figure out a way for all the problems I face.."
Gaston Molina
I am grateful to have a safe, non judgmental, healthy space where I can fully be myself
Emilia Chawa
I am so relieved with her, she understand where I come from, also she respect my way of expressing things, she is very easy discussing my ideas, the homework she gave helps me to open my heart and mind for different direction, am attending to continue with her for more seasons.
George Saade
"My sessions were very good. He is very caring and he listened carefully and I felt comfortable. He never saw himself someone who is better than me or look down in me. Actually, that was the most important thing to me. He showed me his interest in listening to me and that he understand what I felt which made me feel relive"
Gaston Molina
Gaston listens and gives advice in a non-judgmental and kind way. He makes me realize and understand different point of views and helps me think differently from what I’m accustomed to.
Fatima
Very well done. Fatima helped me through a lot.
Nathasha Sharma
I have been putting therapy off for about 2 years. I've always had anxiety, and occasional panic attacks due to a lot of internal and external issues with life, and basically adulthood. The catalyst was actually starting my new job. It was a whole shift and I had to make major adjustments with my life and relationships. I'm only 2 months in, and already handling more than what I'm supposed to. I found myself crying day in and day out because of this, and I would isolate myself away from family. Nathasha listened with an open mind and heart, and had compassion and empathy. She gave me tips on how to better handle myself in situations during a panic/anxiety attack, and communication tips with my boss (who is my biggest obstacle at the moment). It's only been one session, but I can't wait for the next!
Daniela
Amazing, has helped me work through lots of things, attentive and very supportive.
Gaston

Christina P
She is an excellent psychologist, really smart and insightful. She is definitely well-experienced as a psychologist as she able to understand and respond very well to my thoughts and emotions. I would definitely recommend her.
Fatima
The sessions were really helpful, it made me understand myself more and I had a noticeable improvement with my mental health.
Gaston Molina
Seeing therapists can be daunting, Gaston makes it easy. He gets it, is able to help me break things down and work through everything, he’s brilliant!

What is Low Self-Esteem?
Self-esteem is one’s perception of oneself. Not valuing oneself and having a low opinion of yourself are hallmarks of low self-esteem. Having low self-esteem causes people to not just feel worthless, but they also are more likely to then be exploited by others.
Chronic low self esteem can pave way for many mental health problems and social issues. Self-esteem should not be confused with feelings of grandiosity; self-esteem is about how you treat yourself, and thus by extension, how others treat you. It is about believing in yourself, having a healthy amount of love for yourself, and thinking of yourself as a worthy person.
What Are the Signs of Low Self-Esteem?
Some of the low self esteem signs are as follows:
Comparison
A characteristic and outcome of low self esteem is negative social comparison. People then constantly compare themselves to others and feel low in comparison.
Low Confidence
A characteristic of low self esteem is not having faith in your abilities and thus having low confidence levels.
Lack of Agency
Another one of low self-esteem symptoms is feeling a lack of control over what happens in your life. This lack of agency is especially among the signs of low self esteem in a woman.
Lack of Faith in Oneself
Constantly doubting yourself is a side-effect of having low self-worth. Such people also worry a lot when given responsibility.
Inability to Voice Yourself
People with low self-esteem have trouble voicing their minds and needs.
Fear
Amongst the symptoms of low self esteem is having low faith in yourself, which then causes people to be in a constant state of fear. It can also then make them jaded.
Trouble Accepting Compliments
Low self-esteem causes people to be wary of compliments.
Imposter Syndrome
Even when the achievements are very real, low self-esteem causes people to experience imposter syndrome.
Hate For Oneself
Another sign of and risk of low self esteem is hatred for oneself.
Hopelessness
A lack of faith in your abilities can also make people hopeless about themselves.
People Pleasing
Those with low self-esteem also tend to have a habit of people-pleasing.
Why Do I Have Low Self Esteem?
There are different causes of low self-esteem. Some include:
Childhood
Your nurturing environment has a profound impact on your well-being. When you are told you are inferior, unaccomplished, ugly, and not smart, by your peers, family, teachers, parents, etc. in your childhood, it is then more likely that you associate such negative thoughts about yourself. It then causes low self-esteem. It is also the reason low self-esteem in adolescence is more common.
Experience of School
Your experience of school can be amongst the causes of low self esteem. If you were bullied, had poor academic performance, or generally struggled in school, your risk of low self-esteem is higher.
Mental Health Issues
People with certain mental health issues like anxiety can also develop low self-worth.
Trauma and Abuse
Some forms of trauma and abuse can also lead to low self-esteem. There is a link between low self-esteem and domestic violence. The trend of victim blaming certainly does not help.
How Does Low Self-Esteem Affect a Person?
Low self-esteem has a grave impact on one’s life. It can lead to:
Exploitation
People can tell when a person has low self-esteem, and they then exploit it to get what they want. It can then lead to the person with low self-esteem doing all the work, not appreciating what they do, always overcompensating, etc.
People Pleasing
Low self-esteem is also linked to people pleasing.
Constant Worry
Another risk of low self-esteem is increased levels of worry and thus anxiety. Naturally, when you do not consider yourself to be capable, you then doubt everything that you do.
Low Self Esteem and Relationships
Low self-esteem can put a person in a vulnerable spot in a relationship. Alongside greater chances of abuse, exploitation, and even gaslighting, low self-esteem also causes one to feel unlovable. They then take any sort of treatment their partner gives them.
In romantic partnerships, low self-esteem can also lead to poor sexual performance. Low self-esteem and domestic violence are also linked.
Is Low Self-Esteem a Character Trait?
Low self-esteem can be considered a character, rather, a personality trait. As self-perception affects the way you perceive yourself, your viewpoints, your behavior, your confidence, and even your success levels, it is an important dimension of your personality and life.
Is Low Self Esteem Genetic?
Your genetics can cause you to develop low self-esteem. It is because most psychological issues do have a basis in genetics. But your physical appearance, which is determined by your genetics, also plays a pivotal role in your self-esteem levels.
How to Deal With and Get Rid of Low Self Esteem?
Learning how to overcome low self-esteem is important, as low self-worth has a grave impact on your quality of life. Some helpful solutions to low self-esteem include:
Break the Cycle of Negativity
Recognizing the negative thought process is important for breaking the chain of low self-esteem. So, when you start to think bad thoughts about yourself, rationalize it. Stop cognitive distortions.
Be Kinder to Yourself
Just as you find good in others, and cut them slack, offer yourself the same level of kindness as well.
Positive Self-Talk
Try to talk to yourself in a more positive light. Focus on your strengths. Challenge every negative thought with a positive one.
Accept Yourself
Another way to overcome low self esteem is by learning to accept yourself. You do not have to be perfect. You should not compare yourself to others. Learn to value yourself first, the world will follow.
